At the end of a news conference Monday evening in Utrecht, police chief Rob van Bree told reporters: “I just heard that the suspect we were hunting has been arrested.”
Further details were not immediately available.
The father of the suspect in the Utrecht tram shooting says his son should be punished if he’s to blame.
Utrecht police released a photo of a 37-year-old man born in Turkey who they said was “associated with the incident.” The photo identified him as Gokmen Tanis.
Police say three people were killed in the shooting Monday and five wounded.
Mehmet Tanis, his father who lives in Turkey’s central Kayseri province, told the private Demiroren news agency that he hadn’t spoken to his son in 11 years. He says “if he did it, he should pay the penalty.”
Separately, Turkey’s official Anadolu news agency said the suspect’s relatives believe he shot at someone close to the family due to “family issues.”

Last night this was a big story. Nowadays one person killed is hardly a headline at all. I am sure we are all glad the fellow is in custody.
